Testimonial for Ana Hernandez
I was recommended Ana by a friend who had post partum belly binding done. I was looking for someone who would keep me grounded and in touch with my cultural background as many of her practices include traditional mexican midwifery traditions- along with traditions from around the world. The care I recieved with Ana was beyond what I expected, and beyond what my husband expected. There wasn't a time that I felt like just a "client," with Ana, I felt like I was under her care, like a close friend or family. She kept our interests in mind, and made the focus on me and welcoming my baby. One of the sweetest things she did was an alter welcoming baby the first night of labor in the hospital. She also is knowledgable in accupressure and massage techniques. Without her, I would have had an epidural early in labor. I was able to focus my breathing using techniques she taught or recommended and she has SO many resources! She provided support and care for my husband as well as me. I wish we would have had a doula for our first child- the birth was traumatic and I felt anxiety about birth this time. Having Ana on my team was absolutely necessary for my mental and emotional health. Everyone who sees me postpartum (I'm about 2 weeks postpartum) asks me, "how are you doing this?" or "you look GREAT" or " I was never this bouncy and adjusted after a baby" or "you're absolutely glowing". The answer? A strong pregnancy and postpartum team with Ana is the reason I'm so "together" after this birth. Her binding technique and knowledge of massage is absolutely a key part of my healing and if I didnt have these techniques *that she often SHARES and teaches you* I would be bedridden. Viva la doula!
